1: The first wasteland of Qingyang, its bloodline has been severed.

[This is a brainless power fantasy novel, please leave your brain at the door]

"Put your hand on it. Don't dawdle."

The testing Elder said coldly.

Chu He stood on the high platform, his palms covered in sweat. He took a deep breath and pressed his hand onto the pitch-black "Spirit Testing Stone".

Below the platform, a dense crowd of people gathered: the clansmen of the Chu family, onlookers, and sitting in the front row, a young girl in a goose-yellow dress with an indifferent expression—his fiancée, Zhao Yanran.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths.

The Spirit Testing Stone was deathly silent.

"Chu He, Bloodline... withered. Determined Rank: None."

The Elder heartlessly announced the verdict, his voice amplified by the Formation and booming into the ears of every member of the Chu family.

"As expected, he is Trash!"

"Not only has his cultivation been stuck at the first stage of Body Tempering for three years, but now he has even lost the Bloodline Power to produce offspring?"

"He's cut off the family line! The Chu family is going to have no descendants!"

The Li family's Young Lord, Li Wei, sat at the head of the guest seating, spinning two iron balls in his hand, his mouth curling up to his ears: "Tsk tsk, Patriarch Chu, I think you should take down that plaque that says 'Number One Family of Qingyang', shouldn't you? If you can't even produce a male heir, what's the use of guarding those few acres of Spirit Stone fields? Why not give them to my Li family? I'll ensure you, Chu He, have food and drink for the rest of your life, how about that?"

Chu He didn't speak. He stared fixedly at that stone, his fingernails digging into his flesh.

Three years since his Transmigration, he had tried countless methods to Cultivate, consumed medicinal herbs that tasted worse than shit, and practiced body arts that ground his bones to pieces, only to end up with this?

"Chu He." A cold, clear voice rang out. Zhao Yanran stood up.

She was dressed beautifully today, wearing a gold hairpin and draped in flowing cloud brocade, like a proud peacock.

She walked to the front of the platform and pulled a red paper from her sleeve. It was the marriage contract.

"Since your Bloodline is severed, let this marriage be annulled."

Zhao Yanran's voice wasn't loud, but it made the noisy square instantly deathly silent. In front of all the local dignitaries, her slender fingers applied force, and with a "rip" sound, the red paper was torn in two.

"Zhao Yanran, you..." The Chu family's Grand Elder's beard trembled with rage as he pointed at her. "Back when Chu He's father was alive, it was your Zhao family crying and begging for this marriage! Now that the Chu family has fallen on hard times, you want to kick us while we're down?!"

"A wise bird chooses its tree to nest in." Zhao Yanran didn't even glance at the Grand Elder, her gaze fixed solely on Chu He's face, her eyes filled only with coldness that she felt was justified.

"Chu He, be realistic. My future husband, Zhao Yanran's, must be a Dragon among men, someone who can take me to Ascend to the Upper Realm, not a... eunuch who can't even produce a child."

Boom—the crowd erupted.

The word "eunuch" was too poisonous!

Li Wei laughed so hard he dropped the iron balls in his hands: "Hahaha! Young Miss Zhao is right! Chu He, why don't you change your name to 'Eunuch Chu'!"

Chu He lowered his head, his bangs blocking his eyes. No one could see his expression.

Only he knew how fiercely the rage in his chest was burning at this moment.

What a "wise bird chooses its tree to nest in." What a "eunuch."

This pair of scoundrels, singing in harmony, they want to trample the last bit of the Chu family's dignity into the mud so they can rightfully divide up our family assets, right?

He slowly crouched down and picked up the two halves of the marriage contract.

"Chu He! What are you doing? Begging her? Don't embarrass yourself!" the Grand Elder roared, hating that he couldn't turn him into steel.

Chu He ignored him. He stood up, brushed the dust off the marriage contract, and looked at Zhao Yanran.

His gaze was very calm, as calm as a dry well, yet it made Zhao Yanran feel an inexplicable sense of palpitation.

"Zhao Yanran, remember what you said today."

Chu He's voice was hoarse, yet it clearly spread throughout the entire venue.

"This marriage, it is not you who is annulling it. It is I, Chu He, who is divorcing you."

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; do not bully a young man for being poor!"

After speaking, in front of everyone, he crumpled the two halves of the marriage contract into a ball and tossed it into the brazier nearby.

The flames leaped up, instantly swallowing the bright red ball of paper.

"You!" Zhao Yanran's expression changed. She hadn't expected this piece of Trash to dare bite back.

"What are you acting tough for?" Li Wei stood up and kicked over the table in front of him. "Chu He, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! You must accept this annulment today, whether you like it or not! Also, send the land deeds for those thirty acres of Spirit Stone fields in the south of the city to my estate by tomorrow, otherwise... don't blame my Li family for not remembering old ties!"

The map is unrolled and the dagger is revealed.

Chu He looked at Li Wei coldly, a gaze that looked like he was staring at a dead man.

"Let's go."

He didn't threaten him further; he turned around, helped up the trembling Grand Elder, and walked down the high platform step by step.

His back view was desolate, yet it stood straight and tall.

Deep in the night, in the Chu family ancestral hall.

The spirit tablets of the ancestors were stacked layer upon layer, but the incense was almost burned out.

Chu He knelt on the prayer mat, his knees aching. The Grand Elder had already fallen ill from anger. The vast Chu family was now left with only a group of the old, the weak, the women, and the children, along with that loyal but uncultivated little maid, Qing'er.

"For a Transmigration traveler to end up like me, I must be one of a kind."

Chu He smiled self-deprecatingly and pulled the family heirloom "Bloodline Stone" from his bosom. This was the one used for the test during the day, and it was also the Chu family's last heirloom.

It is said that this was brought out from an ancient ruin by the ancestors of the Chu family.

"Old Ancestors, if you truly have spirits, open your eyes and look. The Chu family... is truly going to perish."

Chu He gripped the stone tightly. Because he used too much force, the palm that had been pierced by his fingernails during the day split open again, and blood flowed through his fingers, soaking the entire black stone.

Despair. Powerlessness. Unwillingness. All kinds of emotions bit at his heart like vipers.

Just then—the originally cold stone suddenly became scalding hot!

Chu He was startled and instinctively wanted to let go, but he found that the stone seemed to have a suction force, clinging tightly to his palm and crazily devouring his blood.

Hum—a strange ripple swept across the entire ancestral hall, and the incense on the spirit tablets instantly ignited without wind, rising three feet high with blue smoke!

Immediately after, a cold, mechanical voice, which sounded like music to Chu He's ears, boomed deep within his mind:

[Detected extreme unwillingness and despair from the Host...]

[Detected source of the Host's Bloodline... Analyzing...]

[Ding! Many Children Many Blessings System, activation successful!]

[Newbie Gift Pack has been distributed. Do you wish to open it?]

Chu He was stunned. Immediately after, wild joy surged into his heart, the corners of his mouth turned up crazily, but tears couldn't stop flowing down.

A cheat! Damn it, you've finally arrived!

"Open! Open immediately!" Chu He roared in his heart.

[Congratulations to the Host, you have obtained a Divine-Grade Medicinal Pill: life creation pill * 1 (Specializes in treating infertility, reshapes bones and meridians)!]

[Congratulations to the Host, you have obtained the Eye of Investigation (Can view opposite sex ratings and offspring potential)!]

[Main Quest Released: Of the three unfilial acts, having no descendants is the greatest. Please, Host, complete your first sowing within seven days and continue the Chu family line!]

Chu He looked at the Golden Core that appeared out of thin air in his hand, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance, and the decadence in his eyes was swept away.
